The legitimate daughter becomes cannon fodder? Rebirth to overthrow the system's fatality

When they heard that Chu Heng and Cheng Jiuyuan were getting married, everyone was very happy and positive.

Madam Pei and Mrs. Sheng consulted the most prestigious old immortal in Liping to calculate an auspicious date, which was half a month later.

Because very few people knew that the emperor was still alive, if people who didn't know the truth knew that Chu Heng was going to get married, they were afraid of causing trouble, so this wedding was not going to be a big deal.

But a small scale does not mean a small ceremony.

Pei Xiu and his son Pei Yan took inventory of the Pei family shop overnight and prepared a dowry for Cheng Jiuyuan.

Madam Zhu and Yan Yu's mother and daughter happened to be in the needlework workshop, and Cheng Jiuyuan's wedding dress was designed and embroidered by the three of them themselves.

The entire Chen Palace was immersed in the joy of preparing for the wedding.

Chu Heng compiled his properties into a book and prepared it as a betrothal gift.

The deputy minister came in and clasped his fists and said, "Master, the emperor invites you."

Chu Heng stood up and walked towards the east courtyard.

"Father, are you looking for me?"

Emperor Zhaolie handed Chu Heng a booklet and said, "This is the betrothal gift I prepared for you. Go and propose first. When you return to the capital, have the people from the Ministry of Rites deliver the gift to the Prime Minister's residence. No, Miss Cheng may not want you to deliver it to the Prime Minister's residence. Ask her opinion."

Chu Heng took the booklet, which contained all kinds of rare treasures.

"Adding these from me, it should be about the same." Chu Heng said.

Emperor Zhaolie was stunned. He had already given enough, and he still thought it was not enough? He even wanted to add his own.

"Little Quanzi, look..." Emperor Zhaolie subconsciously wanted to ask Eunuch Quan for some advice, but he only realized it halfway through his words.

Emperor Zhaolie looked dejected: "I don't know how Xiao Quanzi is doing?"

Chu Heng moved his lips but didn't say anything.

According to his intelligence, although Eunuch Quan's life was not in danger, he was not having a good time.

Eunuch Quan knew too many secrets, and the ministers always asked him to come forward to prove the authenticity of the edict. His father faked his death, and Eunuch Quan was not allowed to guard the imperial mausoleum. Chu Ze watched him very closely.

At the beginning, he sent someone to take Eunuch Quan away, but Eunuch Quan refused and said he wanted to wait for them in the capital.

"Father, that's all for now. If there's anything missing, we can make up for it later. Yuan'er is not a stingy person."

Emperor Zhaolie had a heart attack. From the tone of this kid, it seemed that he was really dissatisfied that he gave him too little.

He was almost about to move the entire national treasury to that girl.

……

In a small corner of the imperial palace in the capital, an old man with dishevelled hair and thin clothes was rummaging in a garbage bucket.

The reason why he is called an old man is because his dirty hair is completely white.

"You crazy bastard! We just cleaned it up and you made it everywhere again! I'll beat you to death!"

The eunuchs from the imperial kitchen hit him with sticks again and again, and the old man wailed.

After beating him with sticks for more than ten times, two young eunuchs came hurriedly and said, "Stop beating him! Hey, you've come here in just a blink of an eye."

The two men picked up the old man and walked out.

"I don't know why the steward wants to keep him."

"After all, he is the butler's foster father, and the butler is kind-hearted."

The other young eunuch curled his lips.

Would a kind-hearted person allow himself to be bullied by others?

Two young eunuchs threw the old man into a room with only a couch and a tattered quilt.

"Just wait!"

The two men locked the door, and outside the door they could hear the two young eunuchs talking in low voices.

"The steward suspected that he was pretending to be crazy. Look, he even ate the food in the swill bucket. Think about it, he used to eat the imperial meals. If he wasn't really crazy, why would he live in such humiliation?"

The old man in the room saw the door was locked and the noise outside gradually faded away, and he stopped grinning.

He looked at the light-transmitting window.

Your Highness, when will you and His Majesty come back? I'm afraid Xiao Quanzi won't be able to hold on until then.

He has been pretending to be crazy and stupid for nearly a year, and there has not been a day that he did not hope that His Highness would come back with the Emperor.

……

Chu Ze looked at the letter in his hand and frowned.

This is a letter from the Northern Qi Emperor Qi Zhen, saying that after the fourth princess Chu Qing died of illness, the throne of queen was vacant, and he wanted to continue the friendly relations between the two countries Qin and Jin, and wanted to marry Princess Yongle.

In the imperial study, several ministers were arguing with each other due to disagreements.

"The fourth princess died of illness only one year after marrying into Northern Qi. They said it was due to illness, but who knows what the real reason was!"

"That's right. We have already married a princess over there, and we can't afford to lose another one. If we want an alliance, Northern Qi can also marry a princess over here."

"That's right. Northern Qi relies on its strong military to bully us Dongling!"

"You also said that Northern Qi has strong military power. If we don't agree, I'm afraid peace won't last long."

"As a princess, it is only natural for me to make sacrifices for the peace of my country."

"Princess Yongle should be willing to do so in order for the people to enjoy eternal peace."

"That sounds nice, but why don't you let your daughter marry him?"

"you……"

Chu Heng threw the credit on the table: "Okay, let's stop here today. As for whether to get married or not, I will think about it."

There are no secrets in the palace. Even if Concubine Chun does not fight or compete, she has some spies in the palace over the years.

When Concubine Chun learned about this, she panicked and her face turned pale.

After calming down, she went to Ningshou Palace first.

As soon as she entered Ningshou Palace, she heard a lot of lascivious music.

Behind the curtain, a man was heard rubbing his throat and saying, "Queen Mother, how do you think this strength is?"

"Well, try harder. My body is feeling really sore lately."

"Yes."

Concubine Chun frowned and bowed, "Greetings to the Queen Mother."

The curtain was lifted, revealing Shangguan Huan's slightly charming face.

Concubine Chun was shocked. A person could really change beyond recognition in less than a year.

Seeing Concubine Chun looking at her, Shangguan Huan did not restrain herself.

"It's Toffee, what brings you here today?"

"Sister, I beg you, for the sake of the fact that we have been sisters for decades and have never had a quarrel, please don't let Wan'er marry into Northern Qi."

In the past, Concubine Xian was good at disguising herself, and the two of them did not fight or compete with each other, and lived in peace. Not only did they never quarrel, but they would even help Queen Wei when she faced her.

Shangguan Huan said lazily, "The Emperor wants Yongle to marry a princess?"

"Northern Qi sent a letter to ask for marriage, but not long after Yongfu got married, bad news came. Yongle is even more simple-minded, and my sister is afraid of her... Sister Empress Dowager, now there are only two of us old people left in this palace, my sister begs you..."

"It's not that I don't want to help you, but the harem cannot interfere in government affairs. Since you are an old man, you must know this."

"But the emperor is filial and will listen to my sister..."

Shangguan Huan yawned, "Recently, my waist has been sore and my head has been aching. I remember that when the late emperor was alive, he often praised my sister for her wonderful hands..."

Concubine Chun gritted her teeth secretly, then immediately smiled, walked forward, and stretched out her hand to take over the position of a male servant.

"Sister, is this strength good?"

"Yeah." Shangguan Huan curled her lips and closed her eyes to enjoy it.

This pressing lasted for two hours, and Concubine Chun's hands were as sore as noodles, but she did not dare to stop.

This is her only chance to save her daughter.

Shangguan Huan woke up and was very surprised. "Look at me, my sister, you are so skillful. I fell asleep in comfort."

At this time, the palace maid brought a basin of water with flower petals in it and placed it at her feet.

The palace maid helped her take off her shoes and socks.

"I heard that soaking your feet in that essential oil brought over from the West can improve the skin on your feet..." Shangguan Huan was speaking when her face suddenly changed and she kicked the maid in front of her away.

"You are so clumsy, you want to hurt me to death! You should learn more from the concubine!"

The palace maid immediately kowtowed and begged for mercy.

"Get off!"

Concubine Chun, who was splashed with foot washing water, squatted down with a smile and washed Shangguan Huan's feet with her own hands.

"Why are you angry, sister?"

Looking at Concubine Chun who was squatting in front of her and washing her feet, Shangguan Huan had a smug smile on her face.

Just as she was feeling proud, she suddenly felt nauseous in her chest.

"vomit……"

"The Queen Mother?"

"elder sister?"

"vomit……"

Shangguan Huan suddenly shuddered all over.

There were a few times when she had so much fun with the male waiter that he didn't take any precautions and she even forgot to drink the contraceptive soup...

"Sister?" Concubine Chun called out.

Concubine Chun was also an experienced person. When she saw her reaction, she glanced at Shangguan Huan's belly.

She suppressed her fear. The palace now belonged to this mother and son, so she had to play dumb.

"I have caught a cold recently, please leave first."

"That Wan'er..."

"I will find an opportunity to talk to the emperor, but I cannot guarantee whether the emperor will listen or not."

"I will go back and wait for good news from my sister." Concubine Chun bowed and left Ningshou Palace.
